None!
This is a ridiculous question! It must have been posed by someone who has little knowledge of U.S. policies and laws. Are foreigners writing your Axia curriculum??

The answer is NONE because laws in the US cannot be discriminatory, either for or against any person, group, etc.

Actually, you ought to protest to the "university" you are paying for. This assignment is repeated each year, never reviewed, by the school, they don't care it it is current or not. You are paying for an education, but what are you getting? Answer: A never-ending set of assignments that didn't educate in the past, nor will educate in the future. But they keep on repeating.
FYI NOT ALL MUSLIMS OR ARABS ARE LIKE THE PEOPLE WHO PARTICIPATED IN 911
Since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the United States has implemented various changes in policy concerning the treatment of Arabs and Muslims. Some of these changes include:
1. The USA PATRIOT Act: Shortly after the attacks, the USA PATRIOT Act was passed, which expanded the government's surveillance powers and allowed for increased monitoring of individuals suspected of involvement in terrorism. This Act has been criticized for potentially infringing on civil liberties, including those of Arab and Muslim communities.
2. Immigration Policies: The U.S. implemented stricter immigration policies and stronger visa vetting procedures, particularly targeting individuals from countries deemed high-risk for terrorism. This led to increased scrutiny and longer waiting times for visa applications, affecting not only Arabs and Muslims but also individuals from various countries.
3. Racial and Religious Profiling Concerns: There have been concerns about racial and religious profiling by law enforcement agencies, which disproportionately target Arabs and Muslims in counterterrorism efforts. This has led to a growing debate regarding the balance between national security and protecting civil rights.
4. Security Measures: The U.S. government has implemented enhanced security measures at transportation hubs and public areas, such as airports and government buildings. These measures include increased screenings, stringent identification procedures, and the creation of the Department of Homeland Security to coordinate counterterrorism efforts.
5. Public Opinion and Discrimination: The aftermath of 9/11 led to a significant increase in hate crimes and discrimination against Arabs and Muslims in the U.S. This prompted efforts from various organizations to counter Islamophobia and promote understanding and tolerance.
It is important to note that while these changes occurred in response to the 9/11 attacks, the treatment of Arabs and Muslims, as well as the perception of national security, continues to evolve, shaped by a complex interplay of political, social, and cultural factors.
